Phases B3 and B4.
B3 -- src/common/sports_scroll.py is deliberately NOT a superset of the
ten plugin scroll_display.py copies. A method-level comparison of the
eight that share a shape (f1 and ufc are genuine forks) found a sharp
split, and the module is drawn along it:
promoted orchestration -- get_all_vegas_content_items is identical
in all eight; clear_all, get_scroll_info,
get_dynamic_duration, is_complete and display_frame are
96-100% similar
promoted settings -- one algorithm; the copies differ only in which
league keys they walk, so the ladder is data
(SCROLL_LEAGUE_KEYS) rather than a body per sport
NOT content -- prepare_scroll_content has 8 distinct bodies
across 8 plugins (145 lines, 53% similar at worst) and
_load_separator_icons 7 (6% at worst)
Same name, different job: prepare_scroll_content draws *this sport's*
game card. Merging those eight bodies would be exactly the mistake the
promotion rule exists to prevent, so the base raises NotImplementedError
rather than rendering something plausible -- a base that rendered
something would let a plugin ship a silently blank scroll.
The one behavior added over the plugin copies is native
global_config['target_fps'] support. The bundled copies hardcode ~100
FPS via scroll_delay and never consult the global target; Part A
threaded it through each copy by hand, and this makes that threading
legacy compatibility rather than the mechanism.
66 tests, including three against the real ScrollHelper rather than a
double -- a suite built entirely on MagicMock would sail straight past a
rename in the helper.
B4 -- bump src/__init__.py to 3.2.0 and close the CHANGELOG's Unreleased
section against it. This is the number the sunset rule keys on: the
first core release shipping the unified sports library, and therefore
the floor a plugin sets ledmatrix_min_version to before deleting its
bundled copies. The version bump and the changelog release heading move
together on purpose -- separating them would leave a commit whose
changelog announces 3.2.0 while the code still reports 3.1.0.
Nothing here changes what an existing plugin loads; adoption is B5.
Gates: 714 core unit, 66 plugin safety.

Archive
docs/archive/ holds older guides that have been superseded or describe
features that have been removed. They are kept for historical context and
git history but should not be relied on.
Contributing to the docs
- Markdown only, professional tone, minimal emoji.
- Prefer adding to an existing page over creating a new one. If you add a new page, link it from this index in the section it belongs to.
- If a page becomes obsolete, move it to
docs/archive/rather than deleting it, so links don't rot. - Keep examples runnable — paths, commands, and config keys here should match what's actually in the repo.
